Firstly, let me clarify that I do know the difference between I/you/he...my confusion in calling this third person was solely down to the fact that I was blinded by the amazing images you painted of all three characters!!! I've been picturing these scenes in my mind's eye ever since!!

No worries about not using waspie...it must be a peculiarly English term. After all, I'm not ignorant of the fact that the English are peculiar!! ;) It was a good call sticking with the American English version...but it's still hilarious that I should respond to the question and still have no clue what you were planning so I still think you're incredibly sneaky!!! It doesn't help that I'm ridiculously stupid gullible! *giggles*

This wasn't 'femslash', but I thought you wouldn't mind Lincoln being around ;)

No, not 'femslash' but don't you think it's a genre all on it's own? Fem-m-ale/Slash or something?!! And no, I didn't mind at all that Lincoln was present since he was clearly enjoying himself!! He definitely finds it sexier than it should be but I love that he went with it anyway.

As for the fact that the crossdressing also fulfills Sara's fantasy, I kinda like the complicity it implies between the two of them.

I think that's what made it work so well. That they both shared a fantasy and acted it out seemed somehow to bring them closer together as if by sharing their innermost kinks they found a deeper trust in each other.

still have to write a Michael/Sara/Lincoln fic with actual slash, though.

Hmmm, I wonder what Sara would think about Lincoln taking things further on another 'blue moon' night?!!! It could still qualify as slash with Michael in his girly personna, couldn't it?!!

And just to be fair, maybe get Sara into a tux someday.

Yes!! And if they both played their 'alter-egos' she would seduce Michael in his 'female personna', perhaps?!! Not sure how it could work physically though. Would the idea of Sara using a strap-on be too squicky? It would convey the concept of dominance, maybe. Oh dear!! I'm getting rather too carried away with the whole thing, aren't I?!! *g*

But those snippets felt useless and a bit off, and I guess you can gather that it didn't go too far from some of Michael's remarks in the fic anyway.

I think you implied enough of something that wasn't quite right yet didn't actually tip over the edge perfectly. It was interesting to see the out-takes but the fic lost nothing by cutting them. Although I did rather like...

All you need right now is Sara and Lincoln asking you, “You like this, babe?” their voices full of affection.

For the way they spoke to Michael and the affection in their voices. After all, they are the two people who love Michael the most. Except in my little world of Papi/Nando where Sucre loves Michael too!!

I didn't intend to use the second person pov, but I had it in the first sentence and it just... stuck with me.

It's strange how third *winks* second person seems to write itself. I've only ever done one fic as far as I can remember in second person and I certainly didn't set out to write it that way. Weird...but it worked brilliantly here for the reason that you cite; you didn't have to use he/his when referring to Michael!

There's still so much of it I haven't quoted that I loved...I'd have about 90% of the whole in italics if I did!!

You plot-bunnied me!! *hugs*

I did, didn't I?!!!! But you rose to the challenge magnificently, sweetheart!!
*hugs*

[clair_de_lune]

lol, don't worry, I had understood what you meant and that it was a typo (if I had to count *my* typos...) I'm pretty sure you know your pronouns *hugs*

Fem-m-ale/Slash? I like the way you put it *g*

Hmmm, I wonder what Sara would think about Lincoln taking things further on another 'blue moon' night?!!!

Stop it, you evil lady! I was a bit tempted to have Lincoln take care of Michael while Michael was taking care of Sara *facepalm* and I valiantly resisted because I didn't want to make the fic too incest heavy, and wanted it to focus on the 'femslash'.
Something like that might still happen in the future though. When I'll have made my mind about the logistics of slashy Michael/Lincoln/Sara, anyway :-p

The idea of strapped-on Sara isn't too squicky, but to be honest, not really enticing to me either. I don't think I can do Michael/Sara with kinkier, more extreme kinks. Most of the time, I can't do really graphic Michael/Sara at all :-p

Except in my little world of Papi/Nando where Sucre loves Michael too!!

I'm not the biggest Michael/Sucre shipper, but as far as I've read, your little world is a cute and sweet one :p

It's strange how third *winks* second person seems to write itself. I've only ever done one fic as far as I can remember in second person and I certainly didn't set out to write it that way.

*nods* Looks like it falls on you when it matches the genre of the fic. If it fails, it fails big time. But if it works, it contributes to create a special atmosphere and is a lot more intimate than the first person pov. First person feels to me as the character speaking to the reader, whereas second person feels as the character speaking to himself or herself (although I guess in theory, it's the narrator telling the story to the character).

I did, didn't I?!!!!

You did. But as you could see, I didn't mind at all *g*

[tuesdaeschild]

I really do know my pronouns...but only when my tongue isn't hanging out so far it's touching my chin!! ;) That was your fault, of course!!

Fem-m-ale/slash? Or maybe that should be fem-m-ale!slash?!! Well, we ought to call it something because it's kind of a hybrid. A very delicious and shiny new hybrid!! :)

and I valiantly resisted because I didn't want to make the fic too incest heavy, and wanted it to focus on the 'femslash'.

Despite my evilness in trying to plant seeds I do agree that the focus had to be on the 'femslash' and introducing brothercest (I still think of them as brothers in spite of what Christina told them...the bitch!) would not have been as satisfying, right? Because it was all about first Michael's fantasy then Sara's and Lincoln was kind of caught in the middle yet he still proved very useful in reminding Michael that Sara wanted the she part of him!! Mmmmm!

When I'll have made my mind about the logistics of slashy Michael/Lincoln/Sara, anyway :-p

That's tricky...but I'm living in hope!!

I'm not the biggest Michael/Sucre shipper, but as far as I've read, your little world is a cute and sweet one :p

I suppose it's quite a specialised pairing but giving it the sweet and cute treatment is kind of an extension of their friendship, perhaps? I think it's the only pairing poor old Chanchito is capable of getting her head around after the unfortunate Christina Character Assassination so if it helps encourage her to write something I'm most definitely loving Papi/Nando!!

If it fails, it fails big time. But if it works, it contributes to create a special atmosphere and is a lot more intimate than the first person pov.

I wholeheartedly agree! There seems to be no middle ground with second person and I think you got it right that it feels as if the character is speaking to himself or herself...the character certainly knows the story far more intimately than the narrator, anyway, right?

Glad you didn't mind being plot-bunnied!! It had a very happy outcome!! *g*

[clair_de_lune]

Slashy Michael/Sara/Lincoln offers way too many possibilities *iz at lost* I don't want it to sound like a "catalogue" or something like that, so I have to find a theme and set my mind on a *cough* combination.

I still think of them as brothers in spite of what Christina told them

I've repressed some aspects of S4 canon so much that I have to make an effort to remember they are supposed to be canon. Among those pieces of stupidity intel are the tattoo removal, Michael's death and the not-blood-related scam. I can acknowledge the general plot lines, but all the stuff contradicting previously established canon? Nope.

Um. Anyway. I still think she can have lied just to mess with them (yes, I'm in denial). And even if she hadn't, I'm with you, it doesn't change the fact they grew up as brothers. And I'm going to shut up because I'm rambling, now, and it's not a new rant of mine :-p

I suppose it's quite a specialised pairing but giving it the sweet and cute treatment is kind of an extension of their friendship, perhaps?

*nods* Michael/Sucre slash is like comfort slash. But it's also the reason why I can't really slash them (this, and the fact that it gets in the way of two of OTPs *g*). They are so sweet and cute, that deep down, I just want them to be BFF.

That being said, I do hope that Chanchito's muse gets cooperative :-/

I like the idea of that very much! :)

Absolutely. The tattoo and the brothers' connection were crucial and definitely immutable in my book too. If she had lied to mess with them that's fine but she became too convincing for comfort. They still grew up as brothers though and they remained brothers to the end, genetic or not.

And killing Michael? They didn't need to do that, did they?!!! :(

Hehe! I'm rather prone to rambling too!!

But it's also the reason why I can't really slash them (this, and the fact that it gets in the way of two of OTPs *g*).

I understand that perfectly...and to accept them as being BFF and nothing more is still lovely. But I see you saw that fic thingswithwings wrote in Dreamwidth!! She really made it work, I thought, and it's kind of a prequel to a fic Chanchito (please, Lord, let her muse co-operate!!) and I have been bunny-ing around with!! :)

[clair_de_lune]

Indeed, I read it. It is convincing and lovely - well... lovely in an NC-17 kind of way *g*

Hehe. Did the three of you work together or is it sheer coincidence?

[tuesdaeschild]

Pure coincidence! Our fic begins with their relationship already established but thingswithwings gorgeous fic could definitely be the forerunner to that! :)
